We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

that is a sexy frame, would look even sexier with a nice nitto quill stem instead of threadless setup.

do they make 1 1/8th threaded setups out there? quill stems and headsets??

ive got a kilo build up plan. more subtle than yours but i hope it turns out as nice.

i cant decide on a silver or black headset though :|


maybe you could tell me what you think eh?

i was going to get a black unbranded kilo frame, run the black m13II,s either black or silver stem, my nitto bars wrapped in white and my white specialized toupe exp with my silver omnoms. basicaly a mostly black with a white offset, it looked good on my schwinn. either that or the glitter green or blue if i can with silver m13's or the open pros from velo with black bar tape and my toupe.

or a a set of archtypes from hplus in the future, or a possible mild v in the rear with a box front. but thats down the road.

Today electricians "working" in the space upstairs from the shop have cut my power - without telling me beforehand - four times since I opened this morning. What a ****ing nuisance.
